"Does the prince want to go north to attack Nanjing?"

Chen Yonghua immediately understood Zhu Hetong’s thoughts!

The saint prince sent Yang Qilong to run around and around, and deceived Geng Jingzhong into being the real purpose of being a "rebel spirit". He wanted Geng as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Qing army. He could walk north on the sea to sneak attack Nanjing.

This method is really powerful. Fortunately, King Yanping doesn’t have that great ambition, otherwise that Zheng Jing, who is not good enough, might become another Geng Jingzhong!

Zhu Heying touched his bearded man, looked at Chen Yonghua with a serious face and said, "Master, do you still remember how to go to Nanjing?"

"Remember, remember!"

How could I not remember? Chen Yonghua walked with Zheng Chenggong back then unforgettable! Now I feel heartbroken when I think about it, it hurts so much!

"Criminal Master," Chen Yonghua's tears were almost falling. "This road is not easy to walk. At that time, King Zhong of Yanping led 3,000 ships of all sizes, tens of thousands of people, and eight thousand iron men. He launched a large-scale northern expedition, and all failed in Nanjing City."

Zheng Chenggong now has the posthumous title "Zhong", which was made by King Zhu Tian when he was eating, drinking and having fun in Jieyang.

Zhu Hezang said: "Sir Chen, don't be sad. Although King Yanping Zhong's Northern Expedition was not successful, it can allow us to learn from the experience and lessons from it, and then go to the sea to the northern Expedition, and we should not fail."

"Of course!" Chen Yonghua wiped his tears, "Your prince, you have a powerful sugar medicine tool, and the military advisor Zhuge, and the military advisor Yang, no matter how strong the city of Nanjing is, you can definitely go down in one go!"

"That's natural!" Zhu Heqiu showed confidence, "As long as there are 20,000 or 30,000 troops to come to Jinling, you can break the city within ten days!"

Zhu Heying is not bragging, he is a "great wizard"! And recently, he asked Luo Dafa, who had a mine at home, to go to Shaozhou Prefecture, Lianshan Prefecture and other places to recruit miners, and prepare to learn from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to dig a hole and buy burial medicine, not to bury gunpowder, but sugar medicine!

"Twenty or three thousand is enough?" Chen Yonghua looked at Zhu Heying with uncertainty.

"Enough!" Zhu Heying nodded confidently, "Sir Chen, how many ships do you need to transport 30,000 troops to Nanjing?"

"This" Chen Yonghua frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Criminal, I don't agree with the method of transporting 30,000 troops to Nanjing by water."

Zhu Heying was stunned, "Why?"

Chen Yonghua frowned and said, "Because the sea ships have difficulty moving after entering the river, it is difficult to move forward when there is no wind or the wind direction is wrong. In late April, King Zhong of Yanping sent troops from the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. He arrived at Dinghai on the 28th and occupied the entire Dinghai on the 30th. However, he did not arrive at Wusongkou until May 19th, and arrived in Jiangyin on the 1st of June. On June 22nd, the army defeated the Qing demon army in Yinshan, Zhenjiang and captured Zhenjiang City. On the 26th, the vanguard arrived at the city of Nanjing.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the main force led by King Zhong of Yanping arrived outside Nanjing. At this time, it was almost three months since the army left the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. Not only did the teacher and veterans exhausted, but the Qing Yao also gave the time to dispatch troops to support Nanjing."

Chen Yonghua paused and said, "And there were many Ming survivors in the Jiangnan area that could be used by me, so the army got a lot of help from them when they walked up the river. Anyway, the civil and military officials also had many such conveniences now, it is definitely not available!

In addition, Shi Lang has arrived in Jiangxi now and will soon start to train the Yangtze River Navy. His naval warships are all river ships, which can travel quickly on the Yangtze River. If the army will take two or three months to advance along the river, Shi Lang probably has led the navy to line up on the river outside Nanjing City!"

Zhu Heying nodded, looked at Chen Yonghua again, and asked, "What a bachelor means"

"You can land in Ningbo directly!" Chen Yonghua said, "From Ningbo, we will only advance along the Grand Canal to Zhenjiang for only eight or nine hundred miles. If the prince can reach fifty miles a day, it will only take more than half a month to count the time required to land in Ningbo, and the army will be able to reach the city of Nanjing in 20 days. Within one month, the army will be able to reach the city of Nanjing. King Zhong of Yanping insisted on taking the Yangtze River because he brought a large number of family members, and King Zhong of Yanping was not good at land battles. The prince did not need to bring many family members, and the prince's land battle was almost invincible, so why did he have to take the Yangtze River water road?"

The situation when Zheng Chenggong was in the northern expedition to Nanjing was a bit similar to that when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Nanjing. There was no reliable base. If the entire army's family was not brought with him, everyone would be uneasy.

Zheng Chenggong did not bring his family during the first Northern Expedition. Li Shutai, the then governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, took the opportunity to attack the island that was used as a nest by Zheng Chenggong, forcing Zheng Chenggong to return to the aid.

Zhu Heying's current Guangdong base is relatively reliable. In addition to the two "loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty" of Geng Jingzhong in Fujian and Liu Jinzhong in Chaozhou, as well as the "three-party great Zhong" of Zu Zeqing, the other Qing troops have been far away from Guangdong.

So in theory, the Guangdong base should be as solid as a rock!

But "accidents" are always inevitable!

Just as Zhu Heying was waiting for his child's birth in Dahao, his father-in-law, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was stationed in Chaoyang County, suddenly received a military newspaper that made him incredible.

"Dad is not good. Geng Jingzhong from Fujian and Liu Jinzhong from Haiyang County went crazy together. He led 30,000 troops to Jieyang County and Chenghai County to kill him!"

The person who rushed into the Guangdong-Guangzhou Governor's Governor's yamen in Chaoyang County was Qiu Hui's adopted son, named Qiu Bao. Now he is the Governor of Guangdong-Guangzhou Governor General Biao. He leads two thousand elite soldiers and is the main force of the Qiu family's army's land division!

In addition to these two thousand governors, the Qiu family now has eight city guard camps, including Jieyang, Chaoyang, Chenghai, Puning, Huilai, Mianhuzhai, Dahao, and Haimen, each of which has 300 people.

In addition, Qiu Hui also asked his son Qiu Rong to rebuild the Nanao Navy. This navy had 3,000 people and dozens of warships, and was stationed in Nanao, Dahao and Haimen.

In other words, the only troops that Qiu Hui could concentrate immediately was his own city guard camp, Jieyang, Chaoyang, Dahao, Haimen and other places, as well as the sailors stationed in Dahao and Haimen, which were just over 4,000.

It seems like it will be over if it is four thousand and three thousand!

"Zhongyong Hou! Zhongyong Hou will send troops quickly!"

"Big Boss, what should I do? Come on, come up with an idea!"

"Send troops quickly!"

"Big Boss, the murderer of Geng is Ruma, so he can't kill the Chaozhou people in Jieyang and Chenghai!"

"Yes! Qing Yao likes to massacre the city the most!"

At this time, Qiu Hui was placing wine in the yamen to entertain the right deputy military advisor "Yang Xiuqing" Deputy Military advisor Yang was nominally following Zhu Hetong, who came to Dahao to welcome his wife and children, to Chaozhou.

Because Zhu Heying went to Dahao to "wait for his son", Deputy Military Advisor Yang took his place to meet with the leading figures of Chaozhou counties. In addition to Yang Qilong, there are also a lot of "big bosses" coming from Chaozhou counties at this time.

These "big bosses" didn't know how to understand them, but they were in a panic. They all shouted that Qiu Hui would send troops to fight Geng Jingzhong and Liu Jinzhong's 30,000 troops!

How could Big Boss Qiu have such ability? He is a pirate and a maritime merchant. He wants to go out to fight. Geng Jingzhong and Liu Jinzhong are definitely not opponents. But how could Qiu Hui use 4,000 people to defeat Geng Jingzhong and Liu Jinzhong's 30,000 people on land?

"Really, there are really 30,000?" Qiu Hui still didn't believe Geng Jingzhong. Liu Jinzhong has been so cowardly since Shang Kexi pounced on him. How could he be so fierce at once? Don't they know that the eldest son-in-law Hui's son-in-law is the invincible third grandson in the world?

Qiu Hui's adopted son Qiu Bao looked frightened and nodded repeatedly, "There are so many 30,000! Liu Jinzhong and Wu Qifeng's families came out in full swing! Geng Jingzhong also sent Zhao Desheng, Ma Weixing, and Zeng Yangxing to lead 15,000 troops to help his father. We can't beat them, what should we do?"
